Friends Helping Friends

One of the best things about Emerson Academy is that the children learn compassion, tolerance and to appreciate the differences among their peers. Drea has taken on the role of "helper" for his friend Emersen. He helps her go to and from the playground everyday. Emersen feels very loved and Drea very special for being able to help his friend. OH MY, I just LOVE it here at Emerson! With a warm heart -- Ocho

A Roll in the HAY!

Oh my, those silly Butterflies! I could not believe my eyes when I saw those kids playing in the hay. Don't they know what hay is for? Even though I was feeling very uneasy about having to eat that hay after the little people rolled all over it, I was glued to watching how much FUN they were having. They loved their field trip to the barnyard and their roll in the hay! I'm definitely going to have to give that a try! Peace Out -- Ocho

Go Fly a Kite!!!

The Turtle class took advantage of the windy spring day yesterday to get a little kite flying done. Yes, they were very careful of the power lines! Tying into their lessons on Spring, the kids were seeing first hand how the weather in March can be unpredictable. They had a terrific time and everyone had a turn at three different kinds of kites. The box kite proved to be the most challenging...even for Ms. C. Peace Out -- Ocho

Double Time

These girls are two peas in a pod! Zoe and Addison are best buddies and get along so well. Swinging together is just one of the fun things that they do at school! Ms. Jennifer reports lots of art, reading stories, learning to use a spoon, playing ball and learning to wash hands all by themselves. Everyday is an adventure at Emerson!

Babies on the Move!

The weather has been so beautiful that the babies have been taking advantage of some outside time! I caught a glimpse of these little guys out for a stroll recently. The came out to visit me and my friends...I know that Benson and Channing thought I was the most handsome! Colt, however, really loved Dixie...go figure!
Peace and love -- Ocho

New Addition

Meet Velveteen, our newest addition to the Emerson barnyard! Velveteen was born on Saturday, February 26. She was a bit small at birth, but she is catching up super fast. Of course, she's staying in the "nursery" for a few more weeks, but this gives the kids easy access to her. Her mom, Puddles, is very gentle and loves visitors. Velveteen is sweet, soft and very hug-able, as you can see! Everyone is welcome to go out and say hello...even sneak in a cuddle if you like goat snuggles!
